theBalm and the Beautiful Face Palette

If you’re bummed about the limited edition nature of the theBalm Cast Your Shadow Face Palette, if you’re more interested in the products than the Muppets’ theme, then never fear–the exact same shades are coming back for the holidays. The palette is exactly the same in size, weight, layout, and actual products–the packaging is just a different motif. Instead, it has a daytime-TV/soap opera theme. The shades are the same but have been renamed to fit the palette’s theme. It includes sixteen eyeshadows, two lip/cheek stains, and one lipgloss.

Tres Moi = The Oil Tycoon

Wocka, Wocka = The Estranged Mom

Meep Meep = The Supermodel

Mahna-Mahna = The Bad Boy

Sensational = The Southern Bell

Inspirational = The Mother-In-Law

Celebrational = The Guy Who Died But Didn’t Really Die

Muppetational = The Mistress

Woman, Woman = The Step Brother

Curtain Call = The Coma Patient

Great Gonzo = The Police Man

Kissy, Kissy = The Brain Surgeon

Wild Child = The Neighbor

Lab Coat = The Stock Broker

Hiii-Yaaa! = The Basketcase

Swedish Pancakes = The Older Woman

Rainbow Connection = The Drama Queen

Le Diva = The Perfect Man

Electric Mayhem = The Evil Twin

I don’t have detailed information about distribution, availability, etc. quite yet (it is still a bit early for holiday), but for those more excited about the innards of the palette, this will be a more readily available option I expect!

I’m so glad, since I don’t think I’ll be one of the lucky ones to get the Muppets Themed pallete. I really wanted it for the colors, and this packaging is more my style anyway; more grown-up girlie (muppets are cute, but to me too child-like).

Just saw a bunch of single e/s, lou-minizer, Shady Lady Vol 2 & 3, Meet Matt(e) @ the TJ Maxx in downtown Chicago. I didn’t see this palette, but they only had one of the Meet Matt(e) and I was going to purchase it (had it in my hands) but the mirror was broken– I didn’t end up buying it because I freaked out (the idea of a broken mirror on the eye shadows that I’m going to be placing on my eye didn’t sit well with me- lol! No shards please!)

I will be looking at other local stores to see if I get a second chance- ahh!

I would keep checking back. They get different stuff in all the time. I just saw a bunch of these palettes come into my local TJ Maxx the other day. I had just bought the Muppet Palette the same day, or I would have picked it up.

Shannon, where do you live? I must obviously stalk my local TJ Maxx and Marshalls, but I hope you live REMOTELY close to me in Washington, D.C., so there’s a better chance of us having the same items in our stores!

Saw 2 at TJ Maxx INDY. But now there is only 1. Is it just me or do these look like they may have been rejects? Mine doesnt look like it has fingerprints or smudges but there is a small grease stain by one of the lip glosses and one of the eyeshadows looked like it had some excess that smeared throughout the palette’s container. Is TJ Maxx/Marshalls were the rejects normally go?

It’s all about the Muppets packaging for me. I managed to scoop up two in the pre-sale (one is for a blog giveaway, don’t worry…no price gauging here!). I can’t wait to get my order :). Thanks for the wonderful review Christine, I know I’m getting my moneys worth with an A+ Temptalia grade!

Good to know that the colours will be available (a run of 1,000 seemed, well, rather odd, especially for a company that isn’t all that well known!). Anyway, I hope this will be available near me. I love the products I’ve purchased so far from TheBalm – which I discovered thanks to you, Christine! – and their Balmbini palette is SO compact, so well designed and so filled with great stuff in a small, practical package.

Oh, and I’m getting such a kick from the “soapy” names of the shadows – The Brain Surgeon, the Evil Twin and The Guy Who Didn’t Really Die! All they need is “The Kid Who Was Sent To His Room At Age 8 and Didn’t Reappear Again Until He Was 25”.

This looks nice…and you have to hand it to them for the quippy advertising / packaging. It’s cute. But why re-name the muppets palette? Why not just re-release the muppets? I can’t imagine that this new packaging would bring THAT much more sales into this product….

The muppets palette packaging def also appealed to me more, but this way ill have a chance to get that palette with those same colors i am in love with since i saw your post on the muppet palette!! haa 🙂 but im hoping ill get the muppet one!
